VirtueMart is an Open Source e-commerce solution to be used together with a content management system (CMS) called Joomla! (and Mambo). Joomla! and VirtueMart are written in PHP and made easy for use in a PHP/MySQL environment.
VirtueMart is no stand-alone script, but a Plug-in and requires the PHP Content Management System Joomla!. So you must install Joomla first, then VirtueMart.
